How This Works
For all donations, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will distribute approximately 90% of money donated to the selected charities. This is determined primarily by the amount of views per charity and available funds. The 10% expense includes Revver.com's .01/view webhosting cost, California Community Foundation's 1.25% administrative expense and site maintenance. Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's Board of Directors.
For videos which have received 30,000 or more views, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com may elect to add a click through advertisement at the end of such videos to defray web hosting expenses. As our objective is to donate the most funds possible to our charities, this will eliminate substantial expenses incurred by revver's .01 per view charge on videos with millions of views.

Hi, im 26 years old. I dont know how to understand the stresses that come with having a family member who is sick but i know where to find comfort for those who have. As a bible student i like to encourage others with the promises God Almighty has given us. One of my favorite Bible scriptures is Isaiah 33:24 24
"And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people that are dwelling in [the land] will be those pardoned for their error."
Also i love to read Revelation 21:3,4. I just wanted you to know that although its hard im sure that there is someone in heaven who cares deeply and is yearning to bring these promises to all who live right now.
I hope i have brought some comfort to anyone who does read this. May Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) God be your rock in times of distress (Deuteronomy 32:4)

Your video really touched my heart. I have a 3 year old with autism and seeing a family going through a similar journey brings a tear and a smile to my face. I feel such pride in seeing your son doing so well and I have hope for my son. I love the sweatshirt he was wearing!!

Autism is simply baffling. My pediatrician was concerned at 10 months that my son had autism-he was offically diagnosed at 3 and 1 month. It is amazing that your son was developing typically until 4. I pray we get answers and help! God bles you and your family.
